THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving Day, which we have just
observed , was truly a thanksgiving.
Never in the history of our nation was
tliere inch a degree of thiift, prosperity
and weaitti as is now being enjoyea oy
the people everywhere, and that ia
reason enough to be truly thankful.
The past Year has added to the opportu
nities of the American people to forge
ahead in a sense of wealth, with conae
auent happiness, for wealth, where
there ia health, consitutes the highest
degree of happiness with most people.
With some of ua there have been occur
rences during the past years which
wounded our hearts, and brought blights
upon our hopes, but upon philosophical
view these were but the consequences
that come along down the vicissitudes of
time, which heal the wounds and bring
sunshine and happiness to hearts in
gloom. As a nation we have experienced
the dire calamity of the loss of an honored
executive, but we feel thankful that the
good influences left by that martyred
man has enabled ns to continue in a
inert and righteous course, and that we
lave at the helm of onr abip of state
another whose iron will, pronounced de
termination and Doneaty ot purpose wiu
carefully guide us in our onward career.
These conditions invite na to rest secure
in oar present prosperity and faith in
its continuance.
Ohm of the exigencies of the day is
called to mind by a circumstance that
occurred in our county seat last week.
when a man, whom the battles of life for
more than three score years and ten have
left their mark upon with telling effect.
was committed to the asylum for want of a
more suitable institution wnere he
might receive the treatment and consid
eration which he needs and ia worthy
of. Althoogh physically, mentally and
financially unable to care for himself as
he should be cared for. it is extremely
nnfortunate that he now baa to be con
fined in such an institution aa an asy
lum, where the environments are such
as to drive the thorn ol distraction deep
into the wounda ol Hopelessness and de
spair, occasioned by circumstances over
Which the enfeebled old soul had not
the power of control. There should be
an institution provided and maintained
by the state where such people could
have a home and necessary and proper
treatment, without being surrounded by
lunatics, which fact alone would produce
violent insanity in even a stronger phys
ique and mind. Uid man Lane ia not
insane, but his mind ia weak and he is
unable to care for himself, and if there
had been any place other than an asy
lum, there is where he should he taken
for treatment and care. Such a case
calls out all the sympathetic qualities of
man, but sympathy does not repair this
old man's wounded feelings, restore his
mind to its normal condition nor supply
the place necessary for the care of each
unfortunates.
Kainikb has scored a victory, and if
any element was lacking to win her the
distinction oi being one ol tne lively
towns of the county, that requisite has
been supplied in tne recent acquisition
of so important an enterprise as an ex
port sawmill, such as the new proprie
tors of the Smith mill will make of the
plant, and the achievement is one that
the people of that place may pardonably
be exultant over. Snch an important
enterprise ia one that anv place wonld
rightly welcome with heraldry, that the
. whole country round about might be
come apprised of the fact that the town
possesses not only the natural induce
ments, but the degree of development
and enterprise, mingled with the good
fortune of rail and water transportation
as to afford inducement for so valuable
a thing as an export sawmill, which will
give employment to no leas than one
hundred persons. It is enterprises of
that kind that builds and makes a town
and sustains the people in it; that gives
encouragement to those already there to
invest, improve and enlarge, and invites
others who would like to invest and
enter into commercial pursuits, which
also enlarges the capacity and enhances
the value of property. Rainier has
gradually been forging ahead for several
years, the citizens doing. what tbey
could by their onn means to buildup
and improve the town, nntil it became
known as a good business point, where
employment could be had for the seek
ing and where good educational facilities j
vxinuru, nuii Mie tensi, important tuingin
the consideration of people looking for a
desirable location, where not only a com
petency might be earned and laid by,
but where hope for future greatness
could be entertained not in vain. We
are not inclined to view these transpir
ing events with a look of envy or malice,
but rather 'feel proud to glory in the
achievements of our sister town and ex
tend hearty congratulations upon her
present good fortune and express the
hone that other and equally important
additions may soon be made to her al
ready quite large list, of commercial en
certainty of its rapid development, its
proximity to the state metropolis and its
certainty to become a prosperous ami
wealthy county in the course of a very
few years. This year Oregon has been
blessed with abundant crops, fruits of
all kinds have done well, granaries and
burns are well filled, stock is looking
well, and everthing should assist in pro
moting a feeling of hope and good cheer.
There is an abundance of employment
throughout the county for those desiring
work, and the conditions existing here
are of a most inviting nature. We do
not consider it overstepping the bounds
of truthfulness to say positively that
fifty new families have located iu the
vicinity of St. Helena within the last
year, and the degree of development
going on ia reason for congratulation
and hope. We know that other parte
of the county have received additions to
the population, and the prospect ia all
but uiscouragi ng. We bid a most hearty
welcome to the new-comers who have
appeared to add their brains, brawn and
capital for the up-building of Columbia
county.
Rumoii says, quite unnecessarily, that
the president is writing his message
with bis own hand and in his own
way. Who expected anything else of
Theodore Roosevelt? But rumor saya
further that this first Roosevelt message
to congress will be a short one. That's
a pleasant hearing and we hope it's so.
In the beginning the message was, as
regards size, a very modest anair. . it
did not even emulate the bare-ribbed
attenuation of the "speech from the
throne." against the American equiva
lent of which it was, indeed, in a way,
a Jeifersonian protest, but there was
nothing of the Daniel Lambert about it
in tne third president's time nor in the
fourth. It grew a little in Monroe's
time, erew Quite perceptibly in John
yuincy Adams', grew portentiously in
Anurew jacxaou a. tie was as copious
when he had a controversy on hand as
he was pugnacious. Of the later ante
bellum president. Polk was a sad of
fender aa regards prolixity, and not the
only one. It has already become an
unwritten law oi the White House that
all the more important things said in
the reports of the heads of departments
.tt . . ....
snouid be said over again in tne mes
sage. Only one president since Abra
ham Lincoln a time has ventured to dis
regard this law, and he only once.
If President Roosevelt, in the coming
message, breaks tnis toousn unwritten
law (which ia only a custom, after all)
into smithereens, he will do a good
thing for himself and his successors, for
the people of 1SWI and their descend
ants. The custom, once broken, is
nrettv snrelv done for. The rehash of
the departmental reports became long
ago a weariness to presidents and public
alike. The short message will have
thousands of eager, interested readers,
where tiie nnoonscienably long message
hastens.
A HAKoeom school building, hand
somely furnished and surrounded by
handsome grounds is a source of intel
lectual and moral stimulus and nolift
second only to the personal influence of
a strong, pure, healthy, bright and en
thusiastic teacher. These two condi
tions make the ideal school. Fortu
nately for the local school, it is deficient
in these respects only in the former
condition, and that deficiency is now
practically supplied, By the time arrives
for the opening of school another year
there will be a beautiful school building
adorning the spot where now stands a
structure used lor a scnooi-nouse. This
indicates thrift, enterprise, progression.
and is evidence of the fact that educa
tional matters are held in high estima

Extensive preparations are going on
for a literary and musical entertainment

this week by the Junior League.
It ia expected that our merchants will
close their stores on at least a portion of
Thanksgiving Day, and a programme
for annroDriata services to be neld in

It was feared that turkeys would be
scarce about hers for thanksgiving, but

The recent rise in the Clatskanie river
started thousands of logs floating, too
many in fact for a successful voyage to
tide water in so small a stream. The
result was that a jam was started which
speedily assumed proportions too great
to be successfully dealt with and the logs
are piled up in great shape some two
miles above tide water. It is reported
however that about 600 logs got through
ahead of the obstruction.

been suggested that a history be written
on the state and placed in every public
school, that teachers and pupils may
have, at all times, access to a work that
will give in detail the history of the dis
covery, growth and development of Ore

Frank Merrill was in town last week
from University Park. He resigned his
offices ot school director and member of
the city council, and baa for the present
at least, cut himself loose from our town,
wnere tor nearly a score of years he nae
been a prominent citixen. Perhaps
University Park will give larger oppor

welcome him back if he finds he baa
made a mistake in moving away.

plenty of people about Scappoose who

Jeer now evertbing in the way of real
estate seems to be assuming new values.
During the past few months many East
ern people have come West in search of
new homes, where climate, general
neaitfiiuiness and lair opportunities for
business enterprise present themselves.
Some of these people have chosen Co
lumbia county as the nearest perfect of
all places according to their ideas.
Among the new-comers are men of some
means, who have been in business in
other states, and who have the necessary
push and energy to insure success in any
country. They will go into the country,
for the most part, and develop and help
build up the county. Iu many instances
IotiNEss is dry rot in the nation as it
is in the individual. If mankind would
progress it must find employment for all
its members. This employment must
not necessarily be toil. A man does not
have to labor ten or twelve hours out of
each twenty-four in order to have good
health. Health requires almost con
stant employment, but not almost con'
stant labor. Toll is not even necessary
to health. The great Question of the
age is how we shall furnish employment
mat win ornig sustenance and neaitn to
our entire population.
